NEC – EU sign memorandum

NYARUGENGE - The European Union (EU) Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Electoral Commission (NEC), to act as observers in the upcoming elections. The signing took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kigali. The head of the EU delegation, Ambassador David MacRae, signed the agreement with the NEC President, Chrysologue Karangwa. “It is a perfect observation mission. Observers will be coming and going but we hope to have a big number of them who will have freedom to move in several parts of the country,” MacRae said. The EU envoy commended the document, which describes what is required of an observer. He added that they would only be required to watch the code of conduct.
